Summary: Stiches in Time
Comment: The characters and storyline that Barbara Michaels created started out with potential. I found the book entertaining at least half way through, however from that point this story took a turn for the worst. Overall I did not find the mystery of the quilt that interesting there was not enough detail regarding the quilt and the past to keep my interest. Maybe if we would have heard from the people whose lives were previously effected by the quilt it would have brought more interest and character into the story. I am an avid mystery reader & I did not feel this book fell under any mystery catagory. When the climax of the quilt is resolved I no longer cared for the story or the characters as to me is seemed has a weak ending to the "puzzling" quilt. Once the author lets you know how this problem was resloved you know longer want to read this book. From there it leaves you feeling unsatisfied. You know how things will end romatically so why read on? I would give it 2 stars has it was not unreadable yet definatley did not leave the reader with a since of satisfaction.

Summary: Good Premise, Unlikable Characters
Comment: Was Barbara Michaels feeling ticked off while she churned out this one? I can't believe how nasty Kara (Karen from Shattered Silk) turned out. She's just plain rhymes-with-rich in this book; such behavior is NOT the same thing as being assertive, Ms. Michaels. The heroine (Rachel? Was that her name?) is a total nonentity, as others have mentioned....until the end, when suddenly she had all the answers. (Where'd she get them?) The hero (can't remember his name and don't care) was utterly unappealing. People seemed to do a lot of slapping and snapping at each other. I got fed up. But I did think it was a clever premise, so I flipped pages just to get the story and let the characters go on bickering without me.

Summary: I Really Liked This Book!
Comment: I, for one, really liked this book. This was my first Barbara Michaels book, and I enjoyed it so much, I started reading all of Barbara Michael's books. This book is about Rachel, and it has psychic scary stuff in it. I really enjoy books (and movies) where the scary stuff isn't blood and guts psycho killer stuff. I like the characters, I love the fact that in all her books, she always has a bunch of cats and dogs, and I always feel so comfortable, I could be sitting at the kitchen table with these people, having a conversation and helping to figure out what is going on! And I love that the people in the story do regular things--let the dogs out, keep the cats from going into the shop, opening a can for food, these are regular people, just like me!
I was so intrigued that Pat, the "grumpy old guy" had a similar experience and it had affected him so strongly that he recognized instantly that Rachel was "shadowed", that I went out and did some searching and found the book that deals with him--Amie Come Home.
If you are looking for a pleasurable escape, I recommend this book. I've loaned out my copy 3 times, and 3 times I've ended up going and buying it again because the person that borrowed it from me loved it and asked if they could just keep it.
Enjoy!
